Florida's governor is about to decide whether to let the state pave roads with phosphogypsum, a radioactive byproduct from fertilizer production. Meanwhile, California is planning a major lithium extraction project near San Diego.
You know what has been in the news a lot lately is. Is the artificial intelligence thing. And I've been doing some research on it, and I found actually, you know, it's really good for us to understand consistencies and limits and everything like that. But do you know what the exact opposite of artificial intelligence is?
The wheelchair.
No. Close. So close. But it's natural stupidity.
All right? And I love.
I love that people are, like, afraid that it's going to replace that. Like, if you. If you could be replaced by that. Okay. Like, I don't know. I'm not worried about it. So can't replace this. This face?
No, not at all. And these amazing segues. But. But that leads us into our first bit of the news. Guess which state. This is actually not a joke. Guess which state wants to pave its roads with radioactive material. You got a 1 in 50 chance, and I actually believe he's going to get this right. Everyone at home.
What state is going to pave its roads with radioactive material? I think since there's 50 states, you can have three guesses if you need them.
Can you give me a hint? I don't like that you're so confident. I have no clue.
All right, so, like.
So just on paper thing, wacky.
The first thing I think is California.
Okay. No, but good guess.
It would never get past all the environmentalists in California.
So then is it North Dakota?
No. What makes you think North Dakota? I love that.
I don't know. They're just not Texas.
No. Okay. So this hasn't gone exactly how we thought it was going to, but what I thought was obvious. You don't. The state of Florida.
That's just some. That's the. Do you notice that everything now is, like, negative Florida because the Democrats don't want Desantis to do good. It's totally. Every headline.
It's amazing.
Doesn't even make, like, a lot of the times. The headline doesn't even match the article.
Yeah, it's true. I can tell you. I spent a lot of time in Florida, and I have a wonderful time. And it's. It's too humid for you. But I actually really like, like being there.
And it's a lot of trade.
The.
The humidity for the taxes we pay here.
Oh, my gosh. That's the other big part. You get to. You get to keep it when you earn it down there. That's for sure. But state lawmakers have passed a bill which needs Desantis signature, instructing Florida Department of Transportation to use phosph gypsum as an aggregate material in road construction. Radioactive material, but it's a waste product of the fertilizer industry. So they're trying to repurpose it, which actually kind of makes sense to me. But I mean, who doesn't want to glow in the dark at the end of the day? So. Yeah. Florida. Chris's fourth answer. Florida. And then this just. I put this one in here because I haven't heard. Maybe I'm missing it. But you.
If you hear. It's okay. If you hear noise in the background. There's construction going on in the kitchen.
Yes.
They enjoy it. You're a part of the process.
I cannot wait to see the before and after videos. Oh, yeah. Like the. The work that those guys have done. I mean, this is a masterpiece in itself.
But I can't wait to see the statue of Lincoln out there.
Yeah. Even I really like. I think. Do we name him yet? The Matador?
Yeah.
What's his name?
The Matador.
You want him?
Chuck the Matador.
There we go. I got.
We had Chuck in the corner in the story. He's the Matador.
Yeah.
To be the Manador, I'd like to.
Name him, but it's okay.
No, he's the Minotaur.
That's a bullfighter God.
Minotaur.
You said it three times. And I agreed with you too.
That we can call him Pepe.
Call him whenever you want.
All right, so Pepe's in the corner. But. So I just remember reading about this for a while. UAW's got a strike in an Ohio battery plant that gets batteries for a GM4. These are your regular low voltage batteries.
But did you see the thing on 60 Minutes about the lithium mine here in California? Like down kind of by San Diego?
No.
That they can produce three times the amount of the world's supply or need of lithium a year.
Wow.
They have some sort of hot springs there. And whatever's in the ground is high in lithium. And it's coming up to power these electric plants. All you're gonna. All they're doing is adding on another thing before it goes back into the ground. They're extracting it.
Oh.
And their cost is very low. So it's supposed to be like the new gold rush down there. All these companies are going down there trying to get in on it.
Oh, yeah. We'll suck lithium out of the world really quickly. I have the feeling, do we need it in the ground? Doesn't serve a purpose.
